Yeah, basically what the original article said is some teams are interested if Rogla decides to make a move. With a bit of clickbaiting and when it comes to a casual online reader, you can sell that for anything. As for the Worlds team, Rogla is in a good team and lets hope for the best, entering the 2026 season as a World champion, wearing the Red Bull helmet, that would be splendid. Remco likely thinking the same.

The truth is article itself newer really said on what most felt it did. Most just didn't read it.

Glad to hear it. Staying is the right call. Giro + Vuelta, let's go! Let Remco and Lipowitz get thrashed in the Tour. Roglic and Hindley can bust heads at the other two.

Here there seems to be an interesting conundrum involved. Famdom fighting on who will do the Giro and not to go to the Tour. Crazy times. In the end i feel that both will be forced to do the Tour, fandom indeed going bananas.

We'll see.

Most in this day and age are pretty much everybody. Rare people actually read the news. Brains in general i guess are in lock down, due to things like social media and short videos. As for we'll see, i would like to be optimistic but i fear it will get worse before potentially getting better. Personalised AI based content likely to attack last parts of the brain and that i guess is that.

Did you count them? Just to make sure most is everybody?

It wasn’t meant to be, but it sure would have been satisfying to see Roglic beat up on Vingegaard at the Vuelta, even though I don’t dislike Vingegaard. 2024 Vuelta Roglic clearly better than anyone this year IMO.

I mean, the ultimate goal is still to beat all at the Tour. We'll see.

At the Tour Rogla will be the superdom of Hindley, who will be the superdom of Remco, who will be the superdom of Lipo. It could be tricky to win it.
Evenepoel can go to Pog saying "u wot mate this is just my loyal 5th choice domestique trying to win a stage. Let him an Soler battle it out 20 minutes ahead". Then Vingegaard joins in and says "Wout Selfishly wants this stage too" and Jorgie will say "The CPA has voted today is for the breakaway"

I’m 100% sure that the TDF team won’t have Evenepoel, Lipowitz, Roglic, Hindley and Pellizari. We can even do an avatar bet on it.

Interesting, that you listed them like that, how did you make up such list? Who would you send instead? I must say that i would support your original list. As for betting, don't bet, if you bet you lose.

The order? First my favourite rider, then TDF ranking and then Vuelta ranking. I don’t know the route so I can’t give a team roster. I just would never send my top 5 GT riders to the same race and put all eggs in 1 basket while simultaneously creating possible team dynamic issues.

@Berniece

UAE and Visma do it like that, though, two teams currently ahead of RBH in terms of GT racing. Plus are possible team dynamic issues really worse then riding alone on any resemblance of a hill? Furthermore when did any of the mentioned riders prove to be selfish in a GT race, when teammate was better? Vuelta 23? That was still beautiful.
